They certainly are handy and I have a few around of various sizes for whatever may crop up.
My Leatherman's knife blade is incredibly sharp.

The new K4 Leatherman looks good enough I'm going to have to pick one up to try out. If it had the wood saw and metal file from Victorinox it would probably become an replacing my old Vic.

I was heartbroken when my original Leatherman tool finally broke after about twenty years of daily carry. Replaced it with a Leatherman Fuse and it gets the job done. If I am wearing trousers then I am wearing my Leatherman. I probably use it more than any other tool I own.
It's not that it's better than any other tool, it is after all a multi-tool, so purpose built tools usually are better. What it is though is always on me whereas purpose built tools I would have to go get out of the tool box or drawer. Always on me when I suddenly need a screwdriver, pair of pliers, whatever.
Another tool always on me is a Leatherman Micra - pretty much simply because of the folding scissors. Those things are just handy. Add in a Spyderco Endura, MiniMag flashlight, and a small Swiss Army knife and that's my every day carry.
